  1. Aleksey Grachev (verified owner) –

    Good stuff. I only wish they would make smaller packages for cheaper price. I’ve never been able to use all of it within it’s 6 moth life in the freezer. So have to throw away and buy a new one.

  2. Herm Canil (verified owner) –

    used it last year for first time in Genoa Salami. very happy with it and using again this year

  3. Michael Shrum (verified owner) –

    Exactly what I ordered. Always great products from The Sausage Maker!

  4. PointCut (verified owner) –

    Great Value!

  5. Richard Nitsch (verified owner) –

    I keep this around in my freezer for making dry cured Sopressata and have never been disappointed. Have used it up to a year with great results.

  6. Dino Baschiera (verified owner) –

    This product worked excellent!

  7. Bruno (verified owner) –

    I haven’t finished the final product yet, but first use would indicate it seems to work. The color change is good. The temp and humidity are easy to manage given the 20C/90% environment. It is an easy product to use.

  8. Frank Napoli (verified owner) –

    Fresh and packaged well. I use this for my cured italian salumis

  9. Anonymous (verified owner) –

    I used T-SPX from sausagemaker for many years and very happy.

  10. John Schulte (verified owner) –

    I am just getting into fermented type sausages.

  11. Ronald Gray (verified owner) –

    Great stuff, just the thing for larger cured salami and summer sausage.

  12. Clifford Jones (verified owner) –

    Wish there were smaller packages or a longer freezer life, but used some to ferment some UMAI soppressata and it’s beautiful… now if it cures well!

  13. peter arnone jr (verified owner) –

    Always a pleasure dealing with The Sausage Maker as the product line is second to none and the information available is worth its weight in gold. My only gripe albeit a small one is that if I’m going to order I usually weight for times when the shipping is free only because the shipping rates you offer are quite high. You’re located in NY I’m located in NY and to pay almost $17.00 for shipping and handling for an order that amounts to $24.00 is just a bit much!

  14. Steve (verified owner) –

    I was planning some salami and was anxious to get started – The Sausage Maker came through and made it possible for me to have some very enjoyable time off. Will be ordering some new knives soon as well!

    Excellent product but quite expensive and short shelf life. I have found a substitute product for the future that is 1/3 the price and is usable for years.

    As this product needs to be chilled and frozen to preserve it I was a little concerned.. but no worries. Got here in 3days from ordering. Using it to make salami with umai casings. Cannot wait to see how my first attempt comes out

  41. Leо (verified owner) –

    SM always supplies the absolute best and freshest cultures. Don’t overlook the age limitations on cultures if you want them to work well. Also, browse their offerings. You will find something you ‘need’.

  50. Michael Schiavone (verified owner) –

    Product itself is good, however it is expensive and has a very limited shelf live. As I only make 20 lbs. of sausage a year, it would be nice if it was sold in smaller package as I use very little of it.

    Also, they should provide tracking information for priority mail customers so they can track delivery of their orders. After several days I had to call only to find out it was delayed due to weather. This changed my plans which have to be coordinated with other people as well as ordering the meat from my butcher.

  53. James Lofgren (verified owner) –

    I used a new package of Bactoferm and was treated to the best taste and beautiful mahogany color that I have seen. I have been making salami for about four years now and learned A valuable lesson. DON’T USE OLD INGREDIENTS! It won”t happen again. Thank you Sausage Maker. The salami casings from Umai are the best thing going too.No muss,no fuss!

  54. Filippo Gambassi (verified owner) –

  55. Sam Tanedjikov (verified owner) –

    Exactly as expected. Will buy again. This time I’ll probably try the charcuterie size

  56. william riker (verified owner) –

    Very happy to have starter culture available for safe home production. When you ferment to a ph level of 5.0 to 5.3 what would you ending ph be once drying curing has completed?

  57. Jasenko Mehinagic (verified owner) –

    Amazing products and fast shipping great prices. Will be geting all my stuff from Sausage Maker in future. Thanks Sausage Maker.

  58. Ann M Cicero (verified owner) –

    Switched from F-LC starter culture to T-SPX…much happier…low fermentation temp that works better for me….perfect for south European salami’s….

    Quick shipping and good service. This was a difficult season for shipping and you can’t blame the store for carrier delays.

  82. Keith Swider (verified owner) –

  83. Lee O’Hara (verified owner) –

    I’ve used a lot of it in making various types of salami. The date of manufacture is always a big deal to me because I want to use it all before it loses its potency.
    Over 30 years I know I can absolutely trust TSM.

  84. Louis maccarino (verified owner) –

    I purchased an item months ago and I was shocked at
    the price to ship a 1oz package . So I decided I would wait until I had a few items to put together but I needed my chemicals . I was grateful for the Sausage maker to ship at very reasonable price . Also my products arrived within 3 days.

    Q Is this the best choice for Landjager. answer now
    A

     Hi Karl,

    The bactoferm chart in our catalog states that LHP dry is used for landjager. It states it's for fast acting acidification and it is for recipes with a fermenting stage. It says it'll bring the meat's pH down to under 5.0 in 2 days. It states it is for people who want a pronounced sour flavor as well. Let me know if you have any other questions!
